Cabelltech

Unfortunately, I think having a revision does seem to make a difference even though I had weight loss success with the band. I always vomited with the band but I was twelve years out before the vomiting was happening during the night while I was sleeping. That is very scary and the main reason I chose to have it removed.

I have been denied coverage from BCBS insurance company for requesting lapband to bypass revision. Because they can find nothing wrong with my band, they won’t do the surgery. Even though the band is okay, I’m not. It has caused esophageal dilation and dysmotility. I lost weight with the band but I was vomiting a lot at night. Id wake up from a dead sleep vomiting out of my nose and mouth at least three nights a week. Very scary due to possibly getting that into my lungs. Has anyone else filed an appeal that was accepted by insurance?
